UNIX core-dumps, Windows minidumps or Java heap-dumps are well established technologies for post-mortem defect analysis.
I'll present a similar technology for Python. An improved pickling mechanism makes it possible to serialise the state of a Python
program for subsequent analysis with a conventional Python-debugger.

Stackless (formerly known as Stackless-Python) is an enhanced variant of the Python-language. Stackless is best
known for its lightweight microthreads. But that's not all. In this talk Stackless core developers demonstrate
recent advancements regarding multi-threading, custom-scheduling, debugging with Stackless and explain future
plans for Stackless.
